Development

Development for the film began in 2006, when Sylvester Stallone announced that he would be directing and starring in a remake of Death Wish. Stallone stated, “Instead of the Charles Bronson character being an architect, my version would have him as a very good cop who had incredible success without ever using his gun. So when the attack on his family happens, he’s really thrown into a moral dilemma in proceeding to carry out his revenge.”[1][2] On December 20, 2006, however, Stallone officially announced that he will not be doing the Death Wish remake, due to “creative differences”.[1]
